A city comes together to turn an abdanoned lot into a green garden. I didn't care for the repeated phrases of this one, or how much storytelling was left to the illustrations.

I would have liked a little more of an explanation as to why Gina suddenly decided to end their friendship.

Spunky illustrations and playful, poetic text work in harmony to tell a story of empowerment. Young people encourage and lead their community in constructing a garden in the midst of city development. Includes Make Your World More Green, Notes on Bees and Butterflies.

I looked forward to reading this first of my First-reads.
In the story you follow Michelle and her new-start in a school in England.
Without giving away too much of the story, Michelle ends up going back in time, falls in love and ends up altering, in some way, the fictional history.
The story itself is not that original but lack some meat to it.
